    Me & my wife have had it out a few times too, not so much that I buy equipment because that's my money & she has her money to play with. She gets a little uptight when the Utility Bills start approaching $1500 ... ... as long as I keep it down around $800 which is still quit high she doesn't say anything ... ... She was more than glad though to help me get the CPU's at Micro Center when I told her how much money it would save me Per CPU ...

    CRAP CRAP CRAP The Coolers came today but I'm still dead in the water, I haven't received any of the Memory shipped on 2 different Orders. 1 Of the shipments arrived at Des Plains Illinois on the 26'th but I still haven't got it. It's shouldn't take over 4 Day's to get to me in Mid Michigan from Illinois. So I can't do anything with the Rebuild yet ...

    I fired off a e-mail to Newegg & let them know what I thought of their DHL Shipping Method ...

    If the shipper is DHL then you should looking for our stuff to arrive in your mailbox. For econo-shipping DHL hands off the package(s) to your local Post Office and they make final delivery. It a method that is slow for sure.

    That's one of the benefits of living 2 hours away from Memphis. Most items from NewEgg are overnighters for free.

    Yep Living here in Jackson, TN and when i lived next to trigggl in AR, everything was next day except for the rare cases they didn't have it at their memphis warehouse. Unfortunately i have to pay sales tax in TN, but not when i was in AR.

    If I order anything before Noon from Tiger Direct down in Ohio I get it the nest day, trouble is their prices are usually a lot higher than Newegg.

    If I knew it was going to take this long to get the Memory I would have run down to Micro Center & got the Corsair 16gb 12800 10-10-10-27 Memory they had on sale a few days ago for $35. Even with tax it would have been only about $38.60 which would have been $11 cheaper than I paid for the GSkill Memory from Newegg. I could have shipped the Memory from Newegg back once I did get it. Today's Saturday, so if I don't get the 1'st shipment of Memory it'll be Monday at the earliest before I do get it ...

    I think they do not like you! I ordered memory the same day and got it yesterday, even using the 'econo-shipping' method.....


    But mine came via Fedex, and not DHL.
